Nearly a week after the most devastating terrorist attack in U.S. history, artists are still canceling shows and postponing tours as the concert industry struggles to return to some semblance of normalcy.

The "TRL" tour featuring Destiny's Child, Eve, Nelly and City High has been delayed indefinitely, while Britney Spears has nixed her promotional tour of Europe and South America.

Though representatives for the Recording Academy announced last week that the Latin Grammys — slated for September 11, the day of the attacks — would not be rescheduled, an Academy spokesperson said Monday (September 17) that officials are reconsidering whether or not to stage the ceremony.

Shows scheduled for Monday by Stereophonics and Redman were also called off, while Tuesday's postponed or canceled shows include O-Town, Powerman 5000, Earth Wind & Fire and Nick Cave, according to Ticketmaster.com. Judas Priest have rescheduled their imminent tour for early next year.

While other artists, including the Backstreet Boys and Weezer, charged onward, several performers last week announced their decisions to postpone tours, including System of a Down and Slipknot, whose joint Pledge of Allegiance tour will start a week later than planned (see "Destiny's Child, Janet Jackson, Pantera, Others Cancel, Postpone Concerts").

The Yahoo! Internet Life Magazine Online Music Awards, scheduled for Thursday (September 20) in New York, have been postponed until further notice, organizers announced. Pete Townshend, Aerosmith, Widespread Panic and Ludacris were to perform.

Wyclef Jean headed into a New York City recording studio last week with Maurice White and the other members of Earth, Wind & Fire to lay down a pair of songs for the soundtracks to two future motion pictures.

Jean wrote and produced both songs, with the track entitled "Holiday" slated for inclusion in the upcoming animated Disney film, "P.J.," while the other number, "Runaway," will be featured in the Martin Lawrence-Eddie Murphy picture, "Life," which Jean is also scoring.

"The film stars Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence," Jean told the MTV Radio Network, "[and it's about] life in prison. They start in one place and end up getting in prison, and then spend their life in prison, [which is why] it's called 'Life.'" [28.8 RealVideo]

The two songs are just the most recent collaborations between Jean and EWF, who teamed up with Ol' Dirty Bastard and Sunz of Man for a remake of Earth, Wind & Fire's '70s soul classic, "Shining Star." The new version of "Shining Star" was included on Sunz of Man's debut record, "The Last Shall Be First."

A representative for Earth, Wind & Fire indicated that "Runaway" and "Holiday" would most likely be featured on the group's next album, which Wyclef will co-produce with Maurice White.

Sunz of Man, the Wu-Tang Clan offshoot composed of rappers Killah Priest, Hell Razah, Prodigal Sunn and 60 Second Assassin, has just finished shooting a video for "Shining Star," which will include appearances by Wyclef Jean, fellow Wu-Tanger Ol' Dirty Bastard and Earth, Wind and Fire, who recorded the original version of "Star."

The clip was shot in Los Angeles by director Marcus Nispel, who has helmed videos in the past for Puff Daddy, Janet Jackson, No Doubt, Bush and the Spice Girls.

As we previously reported (see "Method, ODB, RZA, Other Wu Members Hook Up With Sunz"), studio wiz Rza produced Sunz of Man's self-titled debut, which features guest spots by those involved in the "Star" video as well as Method Man, Raekwon, Master Killah, 4th Disciple and Supreme.

"Sunz of Man" arrives in stores on June 30, while the single, "Shining Star," is slated for release on May 19.
